Founded in 2009 by the Confidati family, this dynamic brand bases its interpretation of alfresco living spaces on a philosophy that embraces harmony, simplicity and well-being. And, with its headquarters snuggled deep in the spectacular Moutan Botanical Centre in northern Lazio, it’s not hard to imagine where it gets its motivation from. Surrounded by the planet’s widest variety of peonies and with a design language deeply rooted in nature, Ethimo (meaning “origin”) creates unique furnishings that reflect Mediterranean lifestyles. Their gorgeous products, made from materials such as aged teak and sustainable fabrics, promote a fundamental sense of ease that perfectly captures the essence of the outdoors. Through the seamless integration of man and environment and with an emphasis on conscious living, their style can be described as “fresh yet familiar”. This, paired with a perfect balance of classic shapes, functionality and one-of-a-kind concepts, makes them, in our opinion, a cut above the rest.
“Subversive, ethical, ecological, political, humorous... that is how I see my job as a designer”
“I enjoy what I do everyday. I never stop thinking about my work and all that relates to it, it’s what keeps me alive.”
“I always think that the project I'm working on will be the best one, where the design and materials are anti-fragile and resilient”
"Fabrice Berrux loves to design and work with pleated-fabric, silkscreen glass and bulbs lamps."
“I’m a person who fishes for ideas. I was born in Ibiza and I’m an industrial dreamer”
